Oh what a nice surprise!!!!
It’s about time for my yearly visit to Shively for more tomatoes and apples.
Wish me luck. We’re running out of time to can.
Kym, this is lovely! I treasure your daily shots.
I thought of you today when I saw a perfect spider web with a big fat spider sitting right in the middle of it. It was in a hedge in the middle of town. I tried to capture what I saw with my cellphone, with inadequate results. I can’t bear to be without my camera anymore! I t never fails that I see something wonderful each time I forget it. Hmmph!
Jen, I haven’t been for a couple months. If they still have tomatoes, I’m going on my way to Eureka Friday. I’m tired of these mealy store bought ones already (ok I know they are better than what you could find elsewhere but I miss summer flavor.)
Indie, I have yet to see a camera phone do more than record the basic facts. Art isn’t their forte’. The worst time I forgot my camera was when I was in Garberville at the same time as the King of Jordan. I still have the perfect image framed in my mind. The window of the SUV rolled down, a handsome arabic man holding a automatic weapon at the ready. And I didn’t get the pic because I left my camera at home!!!!
Sort of a last hurray from summer…..and, as always, a lovely picture.
I’m surprised they are still around, and this one is obviously on it’s last wings. Most of the leaves have even blown down from the trees here. And I needed my gloves this evening when I went to the library on Epona.
My old “Butterflies of California” says it is the Virginia Lady, Vanessa virginiensis. Probably there is a newer name. I looked it up as I had never seen one quite like it.
